Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Don't scare me, woman!
All their kindness has suddenly turned into a nightmare for me. They obviously know something that I don't know so I pulled courage and answered back.
"Did you mean that it was not only me who was taken here? What happened to those women when the big boss didn't like them?"
Before they were able to answer, the door was pushed open, and a familiar man came in.
"Come on, the big boss is waiting for you in his room!"
I clearly heard him say that the big boss is waiting for me, so this means that I am ready to be served to a monster.
I heaved a sigh before I turned to him and faked a smile. I don't know what will happen, but I will do all my might to escape from the hands of the big boss!
I stood up and followed him towards the room where he was headed. While I was taking every step, my heartbeat raced. But I am adamant to my plan. However, we suddenly heard a loud scream from a man at the door fronting us. It came from a man who seemed to be in pain. My eyes were wide open because I was scared of it. Who must be the person yelling? I mean, I am being paranoid, but is that someone who is being killed by the monster boss?
When I looked at them, the man with me, his face, suddenly became worried. He turned his gaze towards me and ordered.
"Go back to that room and wait until I come back to give you more instructions. Do not do anything beyond instructions if you don't want trouble!"
He sneered while his eyes were so mean to me. I quickly nodded and turned around to walk back towards the room where I came from. While walking, I took the opportunity to run my eyes around the place. I could tell that I am in a building. This might be a hotel building or I don't know but it seems to be a very private place.
Some of the designs of this place seem to resemble the place of Villa where I work as a cleaner part time, let alone the carpets on the floor and some of the decorations hanged, most specially the paintings.
It was right after entering the room that the two ladies were about to get out as well. They had already prepared their things to leave, but they were surprised to see me.
"What happened?" Nadia word? Lee asked as she approached me as she checked on me from head to toe.
"What happened?" Faby followed the question up when they didn't hear from me. I was frustratedly seated at the couch before I answered.
"I didn't know we were about to approach a door when we heard a loud scream from a man. Then right there, the right hand ordered me to come back. Here and wait for further instructions. I don't know, but can you tell me something?" I question back.
"Something about what? I told you we cannot talk about the big boss." Nadia answered.
"Do you know something about those screams? Are they killing someone?" I asked courageously. If they say yes, then I'd better find my way to jump off this building as soon as possible!
But Faby quickly explained, smiling. "Do you honestly think that this penthouse is a butcher place? Come on, your imagination has taken you way too far." She and Nadia laughed hard after that, which angered me.
Look at them laughing while I'm here, so, so scared of my life! My expression suddenly turned wild and spoke loud and clear.
"Didn't you give me that idea, lady? How dare you scare me from the very beginning then now laugh at me because of my assumptions, my assumptions which were in your own words?!" I sneered at Nadia who was laughing like she was enjoying what I am currently feeling right now.
Her face suddenly turned scared. I don't know if it was because of my eyes wide open. Yes, speaking about my eyes when I get angry, they are firing like flames. I have a small face, but my eyes are round, which can scare someone who isn't used to them.
"Hey, don't get me wrong, miss. I didn't mean to scare you enough to make you think that this penthouse is a butcher place. I mean, even if a person is too rich, do you think that they can take their victims in their own property and do the killing? And in the very first place, I never talked about a murder. I just said that those women disappeared, and we never heard from them, but that doesn't mean that they were killed or the like."
It was too late for Nadia to explain because I was already outraged.
"Lady, you have no idea! You totally have no idea of how I was brought here. Did you know that my own father sold me to this big boss? Did you know that being here means I am not worthy of my family's love? That I am only here because I am for sale. You do not have any idea what I am feeling right now to add up your insults of me."
I know that I am no one but a bought woman for the big boss of this penthouse but I am not buying anymore insults to add up. I am very sensitive, and no one has the right to question me for being that.
"What is happening here?" The familiar voice of the right hand man was heard by the door again, which obviously scared the two women in front of me. But I was not. I am totally enraged and I am ready for anything even if it includes going into a fight with anyone in this unfamiliar place!
"Nothing, Arnold. We were just trying to explain things to Miss." Faby charmingly explained to the man. So, if this person's name is Arnold.
Arnold looked at me and said with a blank expression.
"Change your clothes into casual ones. That closet is full of your clothes, choose one and get dressed. We are going to take you back to your parents. The boss changed his mind and he said to fetch you if he is ready to meet with you."
I almost collapsed upon hearing him say that I am finally being taken back to my family. That means that it sometimes caused me to run away. Whatever they do to my parents, I don't care anymore, they don't care about me either. This time I have to think for my own welfare. I will run as far as I can where no one could reach me. Even if they paid my parents already, those dealings will be dealt with by them without me. That is not my problem anymore. Besides, my parents have already slapped me with the reality that I am only an investment for them. Well, if that is the case then, I don't have any more reason to stay behind!
I nodded quickly to Arnold. He doesn't know how happy I am deep inside!
"But don't you ever, ever think of running away because you and your parent's life will be at stake if that happens!"
